Amid their pre-season tour in the United States, Liverpool faces ongoing transfer speculations and challenges. The Reds, gearing up for an upcoming match against Arsenal, are reportedly failing to secure two key transfer targets: Nico Williams and Anthony Gordon.
The Three-Option Dilemma of Nico Williams
Nico Williams, the emerging talent from Athletic Bilbao, is presented with three potential paths for his future, none of which seem to involve Liverpool.
As per reports from Sport, Barcelona has identified the 22-year-old winger as their primary target this summer.
With Kylian Mbappe likely heading to Real Madrid, PSG is showing interest in bringing Williams to Paris as a replacement.
The third option entails Williams remaining at Athletic Bilbao after recently signing a new contract with his childhood club. This option may be appealing to Williams, given his strong ties to the Basque region.

Newcastle’s Move with Gordon
The interest of Liverpool in Newcastle’s Anthony Gordon seems to be fading as Newcastle aims to secure the future of the young winger. According to TeamTalk, Newcastle initially proposed a swap deal involving Jarell Quansah to Liverpool for Gordon.
However, Liverpool rejected the offer, prompting Newcastle to reassess their strategies. Now, with Newcastle looking to comply with Profit and Sustainability Rules (PSR), the club is keen on retaining Gordon and is preparing to offer him an improved contract upon his return from his post-Euro 2024 break.
Liverpool supporters hoping for new additions to the squad may face disappointment as the summer transfer window progresses.
With Williams and Gordon appearing to be beyond reach, Liverpool might need to consider alternative options to bolster their team. As Liverpool readies for upcoming matches in the US, the focus remains on assessing the current squad under the guidance of new manager Arne Slot.
